Text rendering is one of the things that one can expect slight
differences in implementation (or even more commonly; a font used not
being installed/embedded) to cause massive differences in output. Thus
it should be encouraged for some OpenRaster exhange setting of export
to save a rasterization of text. It probably also should be part of
any export (or export profile) dialog, where the user is asked what to
do with different categories of filters/plug-ins/capabilities.
